As a designer, it's important to find those stand-out special pieces for my client's rooms and sometimes you have to splurge on those items (and then other times those pieces happen to find you at a garage sale or vintage store for a lot less!) In order to stay on budget for my clients, once we splurge on a few items, we have to save in other areas. Luckily, there are so many great items that have a high-end look for less. Whether you're looking for a stand-out conversation piece or that budget-friendly item, I pulled a little something for every price point today. I love love love the X bench from Target with the nailhead trim on it, but for a more custom look, I would definitely splurge to get the Serena & Lily bench, as it comes in many different fabrics that will be unique from anyone else's. The two side tables look pretty identical to me! I still can't get over how similar those towels are up there in the collage and I have to tell you, I get almost every single one of my clients one of these trays. I have this gold mirrored tray in my own home and I absolutely adore it. There are certain things worth spending a little extra money on and then those are some things (like in my opinion, towels...) that just aren't worth it. What pieces of furniture or accessories do you think are worth spending money on and where do you save the cash?!Happy Tuesday!xoxo
